BC Ferries has been engaged in public consultation with ferry dependent
communities since 1993.
The objective is to share information between BC Ferries' management
and representatives of local communities on the day-to-day operations
of specific routes, planned improvements to terminals, and broader
policy issues, such as the tariff, and the corporate strategic plan.
Twelve Ferry Advisory Committees represent the communities
served by BC Ferries.
The terms of the FAC member appointments expire on December 31,
2008. Committees are appointed in cooperation with local governments,
the Islands Trust and First Nations.
The Gabriola FAC is made up of seven members: Andre Lemieux - chair,
Steve Wholleben, Randy Young, Elgin McKillop and Eric Moeller. Two members have resigned and we are waiting for the appointment of two replacements.

The Committees meet officially a minimum of twice a year and more often as the need arises.
Your Gabriola FAC will have informal meetings with the community. We want to be well informed about your needs and wishes for our route when we meet with BC Ferries.
This site will provide material that is available to the Committee and the local newspapers will be contacted to also advise the public of the activities of the Committee.
